This week I bought a 'destash' of metal letters from another artist. As I sorted the letters to go into my studio, it reminded me of how much I LOVE how my alphabets are organized - and I thought I would share this 'reblog' with you. Letter-ary Mess Do you feel overwhelmed by the alphabet? I did! I had so many chipboard alphabets, monogram stamps, grungeboard alphabets, letter charms, … [Read more...]
